I briefly met and knew Alex Ross from around 1997-2000. Not only is he a great artist he's a super nice guy. No big ego, who actually is true fan. Like most comic fans we grew up reading and loving all these iconic characters/heroes from the Golden, Silver & Bronzeages of comics.

My favorite artist of all time for Iron Man was Bob Layton. He was able to bring to life the armor Tony wore. His attention to detail was so good. I was lucky enough to meet Bob at the Rhode Island ComicCon a few years back and bought one of his posters. I wish I had brought along my Marvel Premiere 47 comic book but I forgot to bring it for him to sign. Oh well hopefully he will be around again!

The best thing about this video Mike is that you're sharing your time and passion for the hobby with Jack. The second-best thing: Underdog! One of my favourite cartoons as a child. Terry Gilliam's movies are truly unique. I used to buy all the Marvel film adaptations so I'm lucky enough to have the Time Bandits comic (by an all-UK creative team too). Uncanny X-Men #186: Barry Windsor-Smith art, say no more. The first published Alex Ross work I'm aware of is Terminator: The Burning Earth, a five-issue miniseries for NOW Comics, and the art is - you guessed it - painted. So the guy was doing amazing work from day one.

Always enjoy the videos. Comics are the number one I look for at the garage/estate sales followed by vintage toys and video games. I'm finishing up a video where I was digging through a true hoarder house. Found two pretty trashed comics in a room and when I asked if there were more they told me they had BURNED them! It was heart wrenching, makes our job all more important. Got to get out there before other books suffer the same fate.

Hey Mike another good episode of your show I just wanted to comment on the West Coast avengers like I said it was the first run I ever collected and whenever they defeat the villain Hawkeye would bring everybody home and they'd have a big barbecue and it was a running gag throughout the series. I also thought that the West Coast avengers were more family like than the East Coast avengers and there was a first appearance of the Great lake avengers which is a oddball group so I really enjoyed reading that series and I was sad when the 102 issue came out and they canceled them All right have fun looking for comics and putting on your shows.

While the movie isn't extreme or anything, it's probably better suited for kids in their early teens rather than 7 & 8 year olds...more than a few kids found it a little bit too much for them and left the theatre lol

Curious: You like painted cover/art and the JL Dark characters. Do you collect Vertigo titles? Early Vertigo books touched the DCU quite a bit with characters like Golden Age Sandman, Tim Hunter, Scarab, Swamp Thing and more. Also, a lot of early work from people like Grant Morrison. It went a lot more in an extreme Preacher-type direction later but the earlier books are solid reads even if not a ton of collector value
